NEA Service, Inc.)
ERE is the simplest and most direct sort of political roundup that it is possible for one writer to make. To men: in 19 key or doubtful states I sent identical telegrams asking for a concise and last-minute picture of political conditions in their various communities. Below are thein telegrdphic replies, recorded exactly as they were received. Each reader may “wish” into a number of them the sort of interpretation that he may
desire. :
My own contribff¥ion to the final article in this set of political surveys, that have taken me almost 12,000 miles by motor from New England to the Dakotas, then down to extreme southern California and up the coast to the Canadian border, is that I can guarantee the intelligence and the integrity ofthe men whose observations are quot-
ed below. i. Let us start with New England and then wrk our way to the far West, Coast.
THE EAST
MASSACHUSETTS: “Activities of Union Party and followers of Father Coughlin gppear at this writing to threatgn Roosevelt's chances in Massachusetts. O'Brien, vice presidential candidate ‘with Lemke, has also filed for United States Senate against Gov. Curley. This may help elect Republican © candidate | Lodge, Curley recently said this was most perplexing campaign in years. He thinks, however, Democrats are likely to come back within the next three months.” RHODE ISLAND: “Rhode Island, long classed as safely Republican, can be placed in doubtful column. Factjonal strife within major parties and shift of many Republicans to Coughlin standard responsible. Radio priest's visit to East Providence attracted as many Republicans as Democrats. : Increase in Roosevelt sentiment noted. Many ask what is Landop’s program.” u ® a : ONNECTICUT: “Connecticut decidedly in doubtful list. Believe Landon is gaining some ground but not as much as immediately after Cleveland. convention. Landon may have slight edge but it is very close.” NEW YORK: “Roosevelt still has state. Getting stronger with labor and man in street. Republicans making extravagant claims, but have nothing to base them: on. Republican organization is inept. Tammany has bitter | primary fights but they are local and there are no indications that: national situation is affected.”
in |
NEW JERSEY: “Prospect Jersey will return to Republican normalcy. Lack of repeal issue is basis of belief that Roosevelt is slipping. Surprises possible from better Hague organization, . especially among New Deal beneficiaries, and as result Republican bitterness over Gov. - Hoffman's fiscal policies and patronage, and Hauptmann mess and Wendel affair. Write-in required for Lemke but is probably immaterial.” PENNSYLVANIA: '‘Democrats claim publicly and Republican leaders concede privately that Pennsylvania, long. Republican citadel of the nation, is a real . battleground this year. State is largely industrial and the Democratic trend among the workers is pronounced. Democrats have made tremendous gains in registration during last four years and, captured state government two: years ago, and are ‘in much stronger position from an organization standpoint than four years ago, when Roosevelt lost the state by 157,000.” = : n = »

THEY SURELY must from the way they took tb the idea of prices marked in odf cents when, according to News-Week, Melville E. Stone, founder of the Associated Press, decided to start a penny paper in Chicago in 1876 to compete with the 5-cent papers, but found there were few pennies in circulation. By hard work he convinced the merchants they would sell more goods®if marked 99 or 74 or 49 cents than if marked $1, 75 or 50 cents. The results were so astonishing that Stone had to have the government ship out pennies by the barrel, and bis paper went over big.

Union votes will be taken away from Roosevelt. What Lemke gets might be just enough to give Ohio’s 26 electoral votes to Landon.” MICHIGAN: “Injection Murphy into fight for governorship complicates otherwise clear-cut national issues here. Michigan is decidedly in doubtful column ‘with slight edge in Roosevelt's favor.” INDIANA: “Democratic factional fight may give Indiana state ticket to Republicans even though Roosevelt gets electoral votes. Labor 70 per cent for Roosevelt but Republicans say farmers and veterans who deserted them in 1932 are back in line, Indications are toss-up for presidency or slight edge {for Roosevelt.”
ILLINOIS: “Situation much the same as month ago. Since Landon’s acceptance speech, Republican strategy apparently is to put more steam on tearing down Roosevelt rather than constructive building up of Landon. Democratic National Committeeman Nash is working to bring HornerKelly factions together, with reports that entente is certain. Relief situation still in jumble and being played by Republicans to discredit Democratic state and national candidates. General Chicago business best since 1930 and in some lines since 1929.” WISCONSIN: “Attempts of Republican leaders to mdke a bid ° for support of liberals and progressives on the claim that Landon is a liberal are not taking hold _in Wisconsin. Landon’s performances to date have left progressives cold. There has been no marked trend among progressives toward Lemke. Progressives skeptical of Union Party - setup.

Hunt at Journey's En unt at Jou End “Y DON'T see how they can lick Roosevelt. The election may be close, but I don’t see how they can lick him.” It was Frazier Hunt talking, over his lamb chops in the Biltmore dining rogm, and the globe-trotting reporter and political analyst for NEA Service didn’t leave any doubt as to his opinions on the turn of the political tide in 1936. And those opinions ought to be worth something, for the ebullient Mr. Hunt has probably asked more people in the United States what their political opinions are than any other man in the country. He arrived in Los Angeles on the tag end of a 12,000mile motor journey across the continent. : oY “It’s the workers who want Roosevelt,” said Hunt. And—“The drought has played directly into Roosevelt's hands. The reality of relief is too near. . . . But there's no use denying the small town is swinging to Landon. It’s the fear of higher taxes that does it.” —FROM AN INTERVIEW WITH FRAZIER HUNT BY TOM O'CONNOR IN THE LOS ANGELES (CAL.) EVENING NEWS.
Democrats expect only Roosevelt victory.” NEBRASKA: “Gov. Landon has been slipping in Nebraska since
INNESOTA: “Republicans privately concede Minnesota still in Roosevelt column. Hamilton’s visit gave considerable im-
petus to hopes of carrying state. the days immediately following
his nomination. A good many factors are responsible. Drought is foremost. The state has lost virtually all its planted ‘corn— 9,200,000 acres, the third largest in the nation and the foundation of its livestock industry. The drought
served to revive the manner in
which Roosevelt met’ similar crisis in 1934. Landon’s acceptance speech hurt him with independent voters in Nebraska. Finally the Democratic organization which’ has been split badly by factionalism and over question of patronage is coming, to life and exhibiting a new militancy.” : OKLAHOMA: “Oklahoma primary result and conservative Senator Gore's defeat in primaries show New Deal is strong and that state is not in the doubtful column. Lee, new Democratic senatorial candidate, and Gov. Marland both backing Roosevelt lead in statewide senatorial nominee fight. Survey indicates huge majority for Democrats in November.” IOWA: “Roosevelt best bet now but close shift away already noticed. This is offset somewhat hy strengthening of Democratic state ticket. Labor strong for Roosevelt. Farmers’ trend not settled. Dissatisfaction with = mounting public debt but there is confidence that Wallace and farm program should help Administra~ tion.” KANSAS: “Light primary ballot indicates less interest coming campaign than supposed. Some say they will vote Republican ticket account chance to vote for a Kansan. Indications are strong for Kansas going Landon; however, farmers will cast heavy Democratic vote.”
» n » THE FAR WEST ALIFORNIA: “Roosevelt almost certain carry state by more than 250,000 majority. Townsend doing his best to pull his followers from Roosevelt but they will: not respond in sufficient number to endanger Roosevelt's chances.” OREGON: “Townsend’s personal drive against Roosevelt is harming what would otherwise be -easy Democratic victory. - Roosevelt, however, should pull through.” WASHINGTON: “Strong fight being made here by Republicans. Townsend also doing everything he can to defeat Roosevelt. Chances are Roosevelt will carry state.” And so with that I'll put the cover on my portable typewriter and bow out, with the assurance that no matter who is elected our country—its land and mines, rivers and forests, factories and people—will write .its own. pages of history and carry out its own destiny.
BY HUGH S. JOHNSON ETHANY BEACH, Del., Sept. 5. The anti-Administration ' idea in this campaign is that the forces holding back a massive business boom are:
1. Uncertainty of investors as to Roosevelt's fiscal policy. 2. Fear by management of what “regimentation” of business the President may put over on the country if he is re-elected. \ However illogical it may be, the fact is clear that investment money still refuses to adventure itself on any wide front. That is the greatest single cause of such unemployment as continues. ' Nothing is more needed than a convincing declaration of true fiscal policy. There has been no such announcement by either candidate; Mr. Landon is as blithely noncommiital as Mr. Roosevelt. :

The bogie about’ “regimentation” thus reveals itself as a concealed anti-labor trust. “While on this point the: Administration favors labor, Mr. Landon has taken no contrary stand. ® Purthermore, unless the Supreme.

Even if it is not a spectacular one, anything more rapid would take on the aspect of a crazy runaway market like 1929 or the Florida boom. Nobody wants that.

Consider the wholesale price index of all commodities. On‘ the Analyst index they stood about 81 per cent of 1913 when we went “off gold,” In 1928 and ’29 they were stable at 150 per cent.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.—Strutting his stuff at the highbrows’ old home week at Harvard University, Dr. Ronald A. Fisher of Lendon referred to problems of uncertain inference in the mathematics of probability. This is a field in which all of us have done a little research from time to time and Dr. Fisher might be surprised to hear of regular publie
clinics in the mathematics of probability, ate
tended by thousands of students. ! The clinics at Sardtoga, recently i = closed after the annual session of one month, yielded general results which nobody has been able to understand. -At.the Saratoga clinic, both the bookmakers and the cus-: tomers who bet against the books lost money on the season. This was not an unusual case. It is the almost invariable result and presents a puzzle quite as knotty 4s that discovered by another sci= , entist who reported at the highbrows’ old home week. This other scientists, Prof. Kasner, of. Columbia, reported that in certain problems the sum of the parts exceeds the sum of the whole. This created a stir among the learned men but they have yet to hear of a problem in which the sum of the parts is a net deficit. This. however, is a phenomenon long familiar to those who attend Saratoga, Belmont and certain other clinics. They do not pretend to understand it. They only know it always comes out that way. :

This has never been done in actual practice in all the history of the study of mathematical probability. It has often been done, mentally, however, on the train or bus, going to the track and, retroactively, by busted scientists on the way back.
